Question about Apache Ant

Hockeyfan · 02-18-2005, 08:29 PM

I am about to start developing applications using Ant. I have decided to try programming using JUnit (Test-Driven Development). I created the build.xml file that I found on Apache Ant's Documentation page. The only problem that I have is that I do not have a jar package named ant-testutil.jar. I did a goggle search and found a page that told me that in order to create the jar file i needed the source files. I have searched my installation cd's and I can not find the developmental package for Ant. I downloaded the src file from Apache's website. I haven't installed it yet thinking that there will be a conflict with the already installed Ant.

So my question is has anyone used Ant with JUnit and used ant-testutil.jar? Do I need ant-testutil or is there a different jar file I could use?

Running SuSe 9.2 pro
Ant 1.6.2
JUnit 3.8.1-3 ( According to YaST; can't seem to run from command prompt but installed on my system. I think it was installed with eclipse)

Can you show us the sections of your build file?

Here is an example of a build file I created that does junit testing.

Code:

<project name="antlab-resources" default="all" basedir=".">
    <description>
        Build.xml file for Antlab-resources Project
    </description>
    <property name="src" location="."/>

    <path id="classpath">
        <pathelement path="${classpath}"/>
        <pathelement path="."/>
        <pathelement location="/net/hu15/cs2335/java/junit/junit.jar"/>
    </path>

    <target name="compile" description="compile java source" >
        <javac srcdir="." destdir=".">
            <classpath refid="classpath"/>
        </javac>
    </target>

    <target name="test" depends="compile" description="run tests" >
        <junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="yes" haltonerror="yes">
            <classpath>
                <pathelement location="${build.tests}"/>
                <pathelement path="${src}"/>
            </classpath>

            <formatter type="plain"/>


          <batchtest fork="yes" todir="${src}">
              <fileset dir="${src}">
                  <include name="**/*Test*.java"/>
              </fileset>
          </batchtest>
    </junit>
    </target>

    <target name="all" depends="compile,test" description="build,
    jar, javadoc, and run" />

</project>
